Jaime E. Forero-Romero

Jaime E. Forero-Romero is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia. His research focuses on computational astrophysics, particularly in galaxy formation and cosmology, with emphasis on Lyman-alpha emission, Local Group, and cosmic web characterization.

• Education: Ph.D. (2007) from Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, France
• Post-Doc: Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics, Potsdam, Germany (2007-2011)
• Gruber Fellow: UC Berkeley, USA (2011-2012)

Recent publications highlight contributions to the DESI collaboration, with analyses of galaxy clustering, dark energy, and cosmological parameters. He leads the Computational Astrophysics team at Los Andes University, with projects hosted on GitHub.

He also promotes open-access computational education through public course materials on GitHub and YouTube (in Spanish). As contact point for the LACEGAL network, he bridges Latin American and European research initiatives in galaxy formation.
